Enabling a button on a webpage
Hello,
I need to enable a button on a webpage, so that it may be clicked
OR
I need to be able to press "Enter" in a text box, after entering my text, as this would bypass the button.
The button in question is not a standard button, it appears to be a data cell in a table that responds to an "onclick" event, if that makes any difference.
Could anyone guide me on how to do this please?
I have tried several methods to enable it, but none have worked so far.
Normally, the button is enabled after it detects that the user has typed in their username and password, however as the automation copies them in as a whole, it never detects any entry... I'm assuming.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
If not in Pega screen, for external webpage try below sample
document.getElementById('textinputid').onkeypress=function(e){
if(e.keyCode==13){
document.getElementById('buttonid').click();
}
}
where textinputid,buttonid are Id atrribute values of textinput and button control.This is to trigger button click on press of Enter .

Hi, thankyou for your response.
Just to clarify, I am working with OpenSpan Studio Proprietary information hidden - is this the product you are referring to?
I could add a script component into my automation with the script you have provided there, but I don't think it would be valid.
Thanks,
Ryan

Update: the button is enabled on the website when both boxes are NOT equal to null or empty AND the system detects a KeyUp event.
Is there any way I can simulate a KeyUp event in Openspan/Pega Robotics/Automation? I think this would solve my problem.

Hi,
Please try using the RaiseEvent method to raise the KeyUp event. If this doesn't work, you can use the ExecuteScript and InvokeScript methods to inject javascript onto the webpage and invoke it. These methods are available from the webpage level in the object explorer.
You will use ExecuteScript to put your javascript function onto the page. You only need to call this method once - at some point after the page has loaded. After that, you will use InvokeScript to invoke the function.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. KeyUp on RaiseEvent worked.
Annoyingly, I had looked at that before but when I saw that it said "onkeyup", rather than just "keyup", I thought it was another method just looking for an event, rather than making it happen - so I didn't bother to try it!
But yes, that's working now. Thankyou!

Actually, it's fixed the button issue, but not the whole problem. I think the system still knows that it's not a person typing these messages in, as I get the message "The requested action failed because of a service error." when I click login. I also had this when I attempted the Submit method on frmLogin, so I'm assuming it's a security thing.
I will try the javascript mehod though, thankyou.

Try sendkeys(username&Password) in textbox instead of raising events. It will work for sure
